Winthrop High School football supporters can get their first look at the 2023 team in the annual Blue and Gold intra-squad scrimmage today (Thursday) at 6 p.m. at Miller Field.
“We’ll divide the group into two evenly matched teams, and it will be a live (tackle football) scrimmage,†said Winthrop head coach Jon Cadigan.
Winthrop quarterbacks Matthew Noonan and George Galuris will be at the helm of the respective offenses. Cadigan said there is a two-way battle for the starting quarterback position.
Forty-eight players have been participating in the opening week of preseason practices. “We have experience so we’re further ahead than normal,†said Cadigan. (Wednesday) was the first scrimmage with shoulder pads, so we’re a little rusty tackle and blocking wise, but for the most part, we know our assignments, and that’s what you get with an experienced team.â€
Winthrop will host Beverly and Malden in a tri-scrimmage Saturday at 10 a.m. at Miller Field.
Cadigan said he intended to announce the new football captains Wednesday afternoon. And speaking of captains, Mike Eruzione, Winthrop’s own Olympic gold medalist, will be discussing his book, “The Making of a Miracle: The Untold Story of the 1980 Gold Medal-Winning U.S. Olympic Hockey Team,†Tuesday (Aug. 29) at 6:30 p.m. at the E.B. Newton Cultural Center, 45 Pauline St
